Hey hackers,
sorry if this is a weird question or not appropriate for this listserv.
Do any of you know of a good one-day intermediate excel class I can take
around here? My work will pay for it but it has to have a somewhat
legit-looking website and payment situation so I can send a receipt for
reimbursement. It'd be cool to find some one in my community to support,
but there's gotta be some institutional elements. The kind of thing I'm
talking about is like
http://www.academyx.com/training/san_francisco/excel/intermediate/
or
http://www.pryor.com/mkt_info/seminars/desc/Y7.asp?EventCode=170028
Again, sorry if I'm way off base in asking this list. Just tryna get
educated on my work's dime and send the proceeds to a rad community
member...

Someone in IRC #Sudoroom posted:
"does sudo still rely heavily on Gratipay?"
"if so https://medium.com/gratipay-blog/gratipocalypse-42fd0ec0d9e8 is
very relevant"
Anyhow, a paste of the article (Published on May 7):
Gratipocalypse
------------------------------
Three weeks ago, we announced
<https://medium.com/gratipay-blog/balancedshutdown-3a9fdb32e9c6> that our
payment processor, Balanced Payments, is going out of business. At the
time, we said that, “we will have to change Gratipay in some
yet-to-be-fully-understood fashion in order to survive the transition away
from Balanced, and it will be hard.” We’re now beginning to understand the
changes we have to make, and they couldn’t be harder.
Balanced is directing their customers to Stripe, and Stripe rejected us
because they believe our model “qualifies as money transmission
<https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3245#issuecomment-91112973>.”
They followed up to specify changes
<https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3324#issuecomment-93562216> we
would need to make in order to use their service. These changes are drastic
enough, but the suggestion that Gratipay might be regulated as a money
transmitter is even more serious.
As soon as Stripe notified us of this possibility, we immediately
beganresearching
the issue <https://github.com/gratipay/gratipay.com/issues/3321>, and we
quickly hired a lawyer
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/193> to help us
understand our situation. Yesterday, we concluded that the concerns Stripe
raised are real, and that therefore it would be both imprudent and immoral
for us to continue processing payments as we have been. Unfortunately, we
were unable to change course in time for this week’s payment cycle, and so,
after 152 weeks of continuous operation, *we are for the first time today
skipping Gratipay’s weekly payment cycle*.
Our intention is to quickly implement a revised model
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/192> that is true
to ourmission <http://inside.gratipay.com/big-picture/mission> and
compliant with regulations, and resume processing payments. However, *a
revised model will almost certainly exclude some of you who have been
receiving money on Gratipay in the past*. Simultaneously, we will work with
regulators to resolve any past noncompliance, a process we’ve already
initiated.
This really sucks for you, our users, especially those who have come to
depend on the income you’ve been receiving through Gratipay. We’re deeply
sorry for not discovering and handling this situation sooner, and we look
forward to processing payments again as soon as possible.
If you have any questions please contact us privately via email
<support(a)gratipay.com>, or publicly on this GitHub issue
<https://github.com/gratipay/inside.gratipay.com/issues/192>.

Hi, I used to be in a cool group called the Cartoonist Conspiracy SF.
It dissolved, but it was a group of super Nerdy and talented cartoonists.
We did a lot of comic book jams at the Church Coffee shop as well as the
Cartoon museum and Rock Paper Scissors Collective.
*I'd like to have an informal cartoonist jam that runs alongside the
Counter Culture Labs and Sudoroom thursday night.*
I'm putting it in the calendar and if anyone objects I'll take it down.
I'm keeping it super short, but the idea is that before I or any other
cartoonist leaves the space we have at least one cool cartoon related to
the:
- hardware hacking
- mushroom / fungus growing
- artificial cheese creating
- 3d printing
- yoga dancing
- naked autonomous activist poetry reading
- graffiti techno bear woodshed making
- etc.
that goes on at SudoRoom.
Much love! I'm going to tell the Cartoonist Conspiracy this too.

Short notice:
Festival is from 10-6, you wouldn't need to stay all day, a few hours would
be great.
If you can help out for an hour or two or three or 8, let me know and I'll
find out who you should check in w/at PLACE.

Maybe time to expedite rolling our own payment solution...

I'm including the discuss list on this email because we are looking for
volunteers to help steward this 2-day event before we can confirm with
them. Please forward this invitation to your member collectives!
If we're not able to find enough volunteers, we will have to turn this
event down.
Here's a description of the event:
Stay Brown Stay Down Fest is a three-day music, culture and arts festival
happening in the Bay Area in August 2015. The festival is a celebration
recognizing the contributions of Latinxs/Chicanxs/Indigenxs in punk. While
we encompass multiple intersecting identities, we recognize that they are
the end products of colonization and we use punk not only as an artistic
manifestation but as a tool of resistance against systemic oppression.
The festival has been produced in Chicago, Los Angeles, San Antonio, and
New York. This year, the Bay Area will take over.
Originally conceived as Latino Punk Fest in Chicago and held annually all
over the US, we decided to take the basic framework and transform it. We
plan on hosting around 20 bands, a number of community organizations who
will teach workshops and offer free services for the community, and invite
a number of vendors to table within those two days.
Money charged for admission will go directly back to the bands, many of
which will be traveling from out of town/state/country. If we can make
enough, we would also hope to be able to give back to the organizations who
come to teach a workshop. We do not plan on making any revenue. Our goal is
to break even and to help out those who are helping us.
Do you know who this trailer belongs to?
One of our neighbors is convinced it belongs to someone who comes to the
Omni and is very upset. He wants it gone in the next 48 hours.
I personally don't recognize it but if anyone on any of these lists knows
who this trailer might belong to, please let that person know that if they
do not remove it in the next two days, it will be gone.

Jake, I am strongly interested in this job; would it be acceptable to hire
a man? I already have housing in Oakland and a serious love for open
source and the ADA initiative. Not being able to attend does not lessen my
interest.
Thanks,
James
Greetings friends, so glad to be back in town and see what omni has turned into... I just dumpstered like 50 box grow your own oyster mushroom kits. Is this the kind of awesome junk I should bring by? I could imagine handing them out piecemeal or setting up (and maintaining) a mushroom closet or bringing em someplace else and leaving omni out of it.... all of these possibilities are possible. Thoughts??

issue: there is such high employment and money going on in the bay area so
it is difficult to find people to *work* on SudoMesh
well...
we are high on fun!
it is fun to build an open internet
people get to work on things they don't normally get to work on
we get to use curse words in our code
we allow all sorts of horrible people like comic book artists in on the
project

I am handling the mediation process for Nick. To do this, I need to hear
from everyone who does not feel comfortable having him in the space. Please
list what the problem behaviour is with specific instances it occurred, and
what, if anything, he could do to make you feel comfortable allowing him
back in. I will be passing this along to Nick.

Hi all,
A set of bagpipes showed up in CCL a few days ago - anyone know who these
belong to? I have too much respect for bagpipes to just leave these out
like this, so I'm going to put them in secure storage.
If you think they're yours, let me know what else was with the pipes, and
which pipe band's business cards I found with them. If I don't hear
anything, I'll be contacting that pipe band in a couple days...
Thanks!

I was thinking we might like to create a museum shelf at SudoRoom near the
entrance.
I could do the first one -
we could have rotating exhibits, but we would basically exhibit a random
antique piece of hardware that we find in the space.
Even if the hardware doesn't have an obvious deep historical impact, it
could still be interesting. I was looking up old Samsung chips on PDF
friday night.
We could write about what was going on at that time socially, ("At this
time this made music equipment more affordable and then hip hop was born"
Instead of talking, I'll probably make this a side mini project next time I
visit sudoRoom!

Anyone seen some little tables that look like the one in the photo attached?
There were also a couple of very small plain wooden tables that have gone
missing, as well.
Would have disappeared between 5am and 11am this morning.
